Had the same problem with my 95 Town Car. Paid almost $800 to mechanics (new fuel pump, and another expensive repair) but didn't solve the problem. Fix was a $6 plug in part from Auto Zone: fuel pump relay. Car has started every time for almost 2 years since that part was changed. As simple as plugging in your toaster.
Fuel pump? Pound on the fuel tank pretty firm with your fist 5 times or so and see if it starts
First check battery and alternator. I did have it checked.
Bad fuel pump? Bad pump relay
try a new ignition coil
have you replaced the fuel filter
In a sense, motors do have cranks installed. It is the starter that acts as a crank to turn the engine in order to create a spark and start it. Any device, whether manual or electrical, used to rotate the motor in order for it to start, is called a crank.
Pull a couple of plugs and see if they are fouled or the injectors may not be firing.
If it's part of the computer controls it will almost ALWAYS show up when you do a computer diagnostic test. Borrow, rent or buy a code scanner for your Ford and see what it says.
timing chain or gear is broken thats why it cranks so fast the starter is just turning the crankshaft not the cam. look or feel the rocker arms if they are not moveing its the the timing belt/chain
If you start YouTube and do not have ideas, you can simply kick-start by posting a tutorial of your profession, or yourself doing a hobby.
I was driving on the highway and the car just stalled and wouldn't restart. Originally it showed a code for cam position sensor. I changed the cam pos sensor. It still wont start. When I try to start it it cranks much faster than normal. Now it shows a code for a MAP sensor. I changed that...nothing. Any ideas.
put gas in it!
